A. In addition to the parking regulations and restrictions set forth in this chapter, no person shall park any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more, as indicated in the records of the Washington State Department of Motor Vehicles for the vehicle, on or along any street, alley or public right-of-way in a residential zoning district of the city; provided, that this restriction shall not apply to pick-up trucks falling within the Class 3 truck classification with a gross vehicle weight rating not exceeding 14,000 pounds. The provisions of this section do not apply to parking on or along principal arterials or minor arterials as designated in the city’s transportation comprehensive plan. The provisions of this section, however, do apply to parking on or along city streets in residential zoning districts that are classified as local streets or collector arterials as designated in the city’s transportation comprehensive plan.

B. For the purposes hereof, the Class 3 truck classification shall be as defined and categorized by the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey (VIUS) standards, which groups Class 1, 2 and 3 as “Light Duty.” Additionally, for the purposes hereof, the term “pick-up truck” means and refers to a motor vehicle designed for carrying or pulling loads with an open body and low sides, consistent with the colloquial understanding of that term.

C. As used in this section, a street, alley or public right-of-way in a residential zoning district of the city means and refers to any public rights-of-way within the residential zones of the city as defined and described in ACC 18.07.010, including specifically the Residential Conservancy (RC) Zone; the R-1 Residential Zone; the R-5 Residential Zone; the R-7 Residential Zone; the R-10 Residential Zone; the R-16 Residential Zone; and the R-20 Residential Zone. Also, mixed-use zoning districts, where residential and nonresidential uses may be made of property therein as a matter of right (not requiring a conditional or special use permit) shall not constitute a residential zoning district of the city for the purposes hereof. In order for a street, alley or public right-of-way to be considered as being in a residential zoning district of the city, the property on both sides of the roadway shall be zoned RC, R-1, R-5, R-7, R-10, R-16 and/or R-20.

D. The provisions of this section do not apply to recreational vehicles as regulated by ACC 10.36.191.

E. The penalty for parking in violation of this section shall be a fine of $250.00 per violation, in addition to other costs and assessments provided by law. A violation of this section shall be considered a parking infraction and shall be processed in accordance with the state statutes, court rules and city ordinances regarding parking infractions. Each calendar day during which a violation occurs shall constitute a separate infraction, and each instance when a commercial vehicle parks at a location in violation of this section shall be a separate violation.
